Bride of Christ
Eve was taken OUT of the body of Adam. Notice that it was not the whole body of Adam which made the bride. So, too, out of the Body of Christ can come His Bride. This also is brought about by a separation -- He calls the overcoming group His Bride. Th ... read more
Choices and Decisions
We are standing here, and we are the sum total of all the choices and decisions we have made in our lives. They have all registered, and this, is the composition of our character. We live in our wills.
We forget, when speaking about heaven, that so ... read more
Christian Character - a Qualification
We have been considering the subject of Christian character from several viewpoints. Let us think of it as qualifying us for Christian living, and trace its importance as suggested by some scriptures I shall read. Let us consider two pictures together ... read more

Communion
He is a seeking God --seeking with a broken heart; not getting the response which He should have in the creature. We say our hearts get so hungry, but God's heart is so hungry. When did you give Him anything to satisfy Him? When did you feed Him? The ... read more
Cross
Every man will find his discipline, and every man will find his cross. All Christians are not disciples. When He first introduces the cross, it is to Christians. Jesus Christ never places a cross on anybody. It is in our volitional Power of will to ch ... read more
Deep Calleth Unto Deep
THE CALL OF DEEP UNTO DEEP
Down in the depth of my nature
Where the issues of life are born,
From that unknown mystical realm,
Surviving through ages of storm,
A call is forever rising--
But its language I cannot speak.
It wa ... read more
Divine Arrangement

Emotions

Emptied From Vessel to Vesse
"Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed." (Jer. 48:11).

End Time
All the fields will be going into distortion -- music, philosophy, literature, everything. The enemy comes in to distort it -- the rhythm ,and beauty are gone. We see it in every field. The standards that maintained, and were good in their own fields, tha ... read more
Faith
When God speaks the Word, it has two definite qualifies. It is authoritative, and it has creative power. The Word is quickened by the Spirit. Faith lays hold of, and wraps itself around that Word. It is our garrison of strength, and security for faith. It ... read more
Fellow With Christ in the Yoke
SINGING PLOWMAN
God's plow struck deep within my heart
And plowed long furrows, one by one,
Through fallow ground so hard and firm,
From early morn till set of sun.
The plow-share was eternal TRUTH
Which tore the hidden roots in ... read more
Fellowship
Sometimes, just the offering of our humanity pleases Him. He loved the disciples' presence, but there was failure on their part on the Mount of Transfiguration. They also failed in the Garden, because of their limited spiritual comprehension. Matthew 26: ... read more
Fellowship in the Cross and Crown
After our Lord Jesus Christ gets the young Christians yoked up and they are rendering beautiful service with the blessing of God upon them, when He has them so close to Him that they can look right into His eyes and they are pulling along together, He ... read more
Flesh
God didn't even want the smell of sweat on the Priests. Anything of the human; the agitation of the flesh; the effort of flesh; He does not want. (Ezek. 44:18)
Do not let the old nature which is still alive, direct traffic -- deny yourself.
The Boo ... read more
General Maxims
If we know HIM, we know enough!
Christ's character is built in us; not given to us. Righteousness is imputed.
Never take the initiative in moving into anything unless you have the Word of God to garrison you. --As soon as the Spirit takes hold of ... read more
Gifts
In Romans 11:29 we read that "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance:" A gift can be operated purely in the flesh or psyche; it depends purely upon who is back of the motivating and directing. -- In I Corinthians, chapters 12-14 we find Pau ... read more
God Moving in Houston in 1997
If God wants to appear in a body, He can, but in essence He is Spirit; not a spirit, but He is Spirit. The article is not in the original at all. He is Spirit. That is why He is present everywhere.
I don't define God: I experience Him. I can have a ... read more
God's Objective
Thou hast always taken the initiative to reach us. In just that simple, and humble way, we come back and say, "Thank You, Lord; continue to draw us that we may run after Thee and find Thee." We are on our way back to Thy wonderful and loving heart, and ... read more
Graduation
It is our attitude toward Truth, and our power to receive that classifies us. Paul mentions three classes of people: natural; spiritual; carnal man. The thing which determines the class to which we belong, is our capacity to understand: our love of Truth; ... read more
Healing
Regarding healing: The miracle in the flesh will perish, but the miracle in the spirit -- to make us into living spirits -- will last through eternal ages. Do you want deliverance or development?
People get these strange ideas that God always fits into ... read more
Holy Spirit
After the fall and ruin, the Holy Spirit still moves as the life principle of God. He now groans throughout all creation, as well as in the heart of the believer, and waits for the day of triumph and consummation. He brooded over the earth in the beginnin ... read more
Jesus
We forget we have a victorious Head; He is crowned, and all power is vested in Him in heaven and in earth. We are only cells in the Body. We don't have to worry; just look at the birds, etc.
He is the center of everything; He is the center of the univ ... read more
Kingdom of God
In Luke 17:20-21, where. He speaks of "the kingdom of God" -- this kingdom realm that we live in -- Jesus didn't call it "the kingdom." He called it "the realm' and I like it much better; Many of our translators are using the word "realm" now, an ... read more
Life
Accept life -- God knows all about it. Turn your life over to Him. Let Him show you how to work it out.
If you learn to interpret life, you can accept it.
Regarding high, ecstatic points in life, we can't maintain the emotional stimuli of that high ... read more
Love of God
The first vocation of personality is expression; it is basic. Man is to love; to live; to get out; he is made with potential powers. Out in the world, man has never found the proper avenue through which he can express himself, to really live. -- No Christ ... read more

Man
Man was made for God's pleasure and glory. God is seeking the glory which is due His name. He is seeking the pleasure which His loving heart has long sought in humanity. So, He always came in the cool of the evening, and He said to Adam, "Possess the ... read more
Miscellaneous
My mother used to say: "To discipline a child, you have to go back to its mother and grandmother: (wise) I never had a problem child in school.
Anything we hold and retain becomes a snare. The enemy came to Jesus, but had nothing to hang on to.
Yo ... read more
Music
I don't always enjoy hymns and music used in some places. Some songs annoy me. They have a rhythm, and a tempo that is not in rhythm, and in gear with what I feel in my spirit, and it annoys me.
We have so few hymns going back to God. Most of them are ... read more
New Birth
In this dispensation, the Holy Spirit brings us into a relationship with God as sons. We have an heavenly Father. In the Old Testament, He is never revealed as a Father, and we as His little children. When Jesus comes, He makes anew relationship with the ... read more
New Creation
We go home under the overshadowing of His wings, and when the pressures come, remember that the overshadowing is where He works His miracle. It is not in the open. How shall these things be of bringing forth the Christ Child? How shall these things be tha ... read more
Overcoming
An overcomer is one that comes over and not around the difficulty.
I want the theory that disciplines me most thoroughly, and demands of me all that it possibly can; not one that makes it all so easy that there is no overcoming necessary in me; that do ... read more
Personal
I am spiritually minded; my feet are upon the earth, but my heart is in heaven. It is good to be in both realms, and to adjust yourself. That is really living.
When I teach, I am teaching out of my heart; not out of a book. I teach out of my life. This ... read more
Peter After
The second incident which I think is one of "these things" spoken of in the opening phrase, is found in John 18:15-19. Here is the sad picture of Peter's failure. He has denied his Lord and is now among His enemies. He has made a fearful botch of t ... read more
Peter Before
This afternoon I want to talk to you about Jesus. I want you to see Him in action that you might see how He handles certain situations. He is unique in the way He deals with people because He has such wisdom and tact.

THE SACRAMENT OF THE HILLS

Of truth God spreads upon the autumn hills?
How strange the silence deep within my breast
When I beheld this miracle of grace!

Prayer and Intercession
Touch Him when you don't know how to read the Bible, but touch the Word -- touch Him; know His will; know God; know His purpose. Keep up a wonderful fellowship with the Son of God.
You can read a lot of books on prayer, some of which are quite materia ... read more
Realm of Spirit
The most real thing in the world is a life in the Spirit; most detaching, because our spirit is released. Keep that spirit open, as a sensitized plate that's exposed continually to God. Then that application of God, flowing and moving over us continually ... read more
Redemption
Paul, with regard to his body, spoke of its majesty as a "temple of God", a sacred, wonderful thing. Paul gave it the elevation it needed. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?" He will dwell in it, and there will be temple worship. He will dwel ... read more
Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus was God's seal and act of approval signifying that His death was sufficient. Jesus never resurrected Himself -- God raised Him from the dead. God the Father was pleased, and satisfied with His victorious life and death. In raisi ... read more

The flesh in its strength and beauty--

He moved down life's dusty road,
And roa ... read more
Satan
When the devil looked at Calvary, he saw his Waterloo -- his defeat. That's what is the matter with him. The devil is conscious of his defeat. That is why, in the closing of this dispensation, the wroth of the enemy is being felt all the time in more int ... read more
Second Coming
In regard to the Second Coming, the believer does not need the external signs such as the Jew returning to Israel. Those are for the ones who need to be aroused by great signs -- but the believer is looking for these spiritual signs:

Spiritual Development
I keep warning young people, and I often say to them, "Listen, this is the only time you will have to make certain decisions, surrenders, and choices in your life. These decisions and choices that you make now govern marvelously things which will happen ... read more
Spiritual Food
"... Lord, feed me with food convenient for me." (Prov: 30:8b) People are choicy, they want the things they want. They may not need a thrill; they may need a pill! A child can't diagnose his need; the wise parent has to feed him. "... Lord feed me wit ... read more
Spiritual Laws
